LJ opened the gate in front of Jaber
Brad Fitzpatrick, the founding father of Livejournal.com (LJ), brought unexpected but good news today: the LJ development team launched a jabber server that allows users of the blog service to communicate in real time. So, the LiveJournal community is invited to try out the beta version of the instant messaging service.
Logging in to Jabber with the login username@livejournal.com (username = username) and LJ password, you need to change the previous settings of the Jabber server to the address livejournal.com. Having made these manipulations, the user will see the nicknames of his "friends" in the contact list.
Mutual LJ-friends will appear in their current status. Those who did not respond with “friend” are on the “waiting for authorization” list. If you invite to the conversation a user who is not in the contact list, the LiveJournal server in the next session will offer him to “greet”.

The picture of the user also will move from LJ. Perhaps in the future it will be possible to choose a picture from those already loaded into the LJ account.
All this “music” works on the Jabber / XMPP protocol. Subsequently, the developers plan to make it possible to send Jabber entries on Livejournal.com, as well as send and receive comments on these entries.
In addition, it is known that in LJ-Jabber it will be impossible to communicate with users of ICQ, AIM, Yahoo and MSN - although technically it’s possible to provide a common platform, from a legal point of view everything is much more complicated. But the smooth communication with users of Gtalk and jabber.org provided. It is known that the new service is supported by iChat, Adium, Trillia, gaim, Pandion and Psi messengers.
“Enjoy!” Brad Fitzpatrick admonishes, completing the presentation of the novelty. Independent expert Pavel Zavyalov exclaims a little differently: “More jabbers are good and different! The LJ audience is loyal, and, quite possibly, in half a year it will turn out that Fitzpatrick made a light movement for the popularity of the jabber-protocol in Russia more than the entire jabber.ru has for all its existence. If I were a bookmaker, I would start taking bets on an outcome like 6: 5. ”
“The fact that the new original server works like everything in LiveJournal and is burdened with a fair amount of oddities shouldn't excite ordinary users,” says Pavel. - Those features that work incorrectly or do not work, are known only to a narrow layer that has been using XMPP for a long time. I wouldn’t look for portal ambitions in this - rather, they tried to make the users enjoyable and, judging by the first reaction of the people, it turned out. ”
Hermann Klimenko, owner of the Liveinternet blog service, believes that the idea of ​​integrating an instant messaging service into blogs has the right to exist: in popular systems - ICQ, Aim, Yahoo. Using Jabber as a protocol is definitely the right solution. It reflects the general trend of using free software in large services. ”
